"Touched Wings"
Not the first occurence of this recently - it has happened at Heathrow twice and Mumbai..
Just a lack of North West News. God, they jumped on it like a major accident despite it being injury free and the airport rapidly being back to normal.

Not sure yet - accident investigators on the scene
Just been a quiet news day - it's happened several times at LHR recently, and Mumbai involving a B747 of BA

A very quiet news day...not that there is much real news on North West Tonight these days.
What has actually hit what...and where were the aircraft...was it at pushback...or a turn on the taxiway.
I presume the 767 wing has struck the 737 tail?

Excel Airways 767 on the Tail of a BMIbaby 737.
Wish they'd refer to the runway with it's proper designation rather than the "Runway 2" thing

So, was one of the aircraft on a runway or are my media colleagues just being thick as per ususal?
